Design, build, and optimize generative AI, RAG, and agentic RAG systems for drafting, search, and reasoning. Improve LLM outputs via prompt design, retrieval optimization, embeddings, reranking, and evaluation. Develop production-grade ML components and retrieval pipelines using OpenSearch/Solr, write maintainable Python code, and collaborate with engineering, product, and domain teams to improve relevance, accuracy, and user trust.
Are you excited to shape the next generation of AI‑powered drafting and search experiences at scale?
Do you want to work on advanced Generative AI systems that turn complex information into clear, trusted insights?
About our Team
You will join a multidisciplinary team of data scientists, engineers, and product partners focused on building intelligent, reliable, and responsible AI solutions for legal and business professionals. We work collaboratively, value thoughtful experimentation, and prioritize high‑quality, production‑ready outcomes.
